my desktop wishlist folder is overflowing right now after emptying it out last week. so i thought i’d share some of the pieces i’m oggling this morning. oh to have a few grand to burn on vintage furniture and jewelry. my list is always full of things i’ll never be able to buy (the fornasetti desk? dream on, grace) but always a few that might be within reach (hello, je t’aime brooklyn bag!). i hope you’ll find a few things to add to your wishlist, too.

I love those “Bag the Habit” Bags. I’m going to get one and bag my habit in style!

Maybe I’m crazy, but I think that desk could be a DIY moment, if a similarly shaped vintage desk could be found, painted white and covered with paper cutouts of butterflys, or (call my crazy) butterfly stickers. Topped with a few coats of high gloss non-yellowing varnish, it could have a very similar look.

I agree with Angie Montreal - my first thought (which reveals my inexpertise, obviously) was, “that looks like a desk a child has covered with stickers”. I am so uncouth!

I have that lacquered desk! I made my poor husband pull it out of the trash in front of a frat house and have been thinking about how I want to re-paint it! Weekend project here we come!

The tiny diamond ring looks really fantastic when you put it few at the same time. I love it.
